This paper presents a methodology for the simulation of smart structures with piezoceramic patches by means of multibody dynamics. Therefore, the theoretical background is outlined adapting a modal multifield approach. Then, an application example is used to illustrate the implemented process chain. This procedure provides the framework for the development of an environment in order to design, optimise and verify all vibration control elements.
